For now, the European Union is waiting for the reaction of the self-proclaimed leader of Belarus to Putin’s “initiative,” the EC spokesman said.
The European Union is waiting for Lukashenka’s reaction to the Kremlin’s message about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus and promises “consequences” if Minsk agrees to this “initiative”. This was said in a briefing by the European Commission Speaker for Foreign Policy, Peter Stano.
“At this stage, it is very important to pause this announcement and see what exactly the Belarusian side, the Lukashenka regime, which, by the way, is complicit in this brutal aggression, will say about it. This could mean an increase, a threat to the security of Europe that cannot be met. from the member countries,” warned Peter Stano.
The EC spokesman noted that if the weapons were deployed, there would be “consequences.”
“If this really happens, it is a direct threat to European security. But we have not seen any confirmation from the Belarusian side that such a step is on the agenda or is already taking place,” said Peter Stano.
Remember, on March 25, Putin said that Moscow agreed with Minsk on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. He argues that this “will not violate the obligations under START.”
The North Atlantic Alliance criticized Russia for its dangerous and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
